VOLUNTEER

If you are interested in volunteering with us at City Growers, contact Bobby Walker, our farm manager or Margaret Connors,co-founder at info@citygrowers.net. We’ll be scheduling specific volunteer times into our weekly farm schedule, and we’ll also send out emails when we are looking for a hand with bigger farm tasks.

If you have a specific skill you can share with us, like carpentry or web design, we would love to hear from you.

Urban Farming Conference

The annual Massachusetts Urban Farming Conference (UFC) is designed to advance the opportunities and address the barriers involved in cultivating a thriving urban farming sector. The UFC is a forum to share information regarding what is currently happening in Boston and other local urban communities and to map out a vision for urban farming in Massachusetts. Boston and other local urban communities in Massachusetts have the potential to offer a fresh, local healthy food supply while promoting economic and environmental sustainability, as well as healthy communities, employment at livable wages, food security, youth engagement and more.
